Hi @conz44 welcome to the community.

You may get a top-up (called a premium) on the following benefits if you get PIP:

• Housing Benefit.
• Jobseeker's Allowance.
• Income Support.
• Working Tax Credit.
• Employment and Support Allowance - but only if you get the PIP daily living component.
• Pension Credit - but only if you get the PIP daily living component.

This information is from the Citizens Advice Bureau.

I used to receive it with my DLA not sure if severe disability premium is back dated. I think it my only be back dated for 3 months.
Thanks for the info though it's much appreciated x

No, it's backdated till the time you became eligilble, regardless of time.

Well if I succeed and i truely can't see how a condition that is on the national disability database can be dismissed by the government body for disabilities. It doesnt make sense does it...... But uf i do succeed the owe me a hell of a lot of money!
